Volume Nv. of A,den's Cyclopedia OF
Universal literature.

This certainly is work of extraordinary
popular interest, and it would be very
strange if at its low price it Should not re-
ceive an immense circulation. Though it
is to extend probably to Is volumes, and
will include representative selections with
biographical sketches) from nearly 1000 OF
the most famous authors of the world, OF
all ages and and all nations, yet it is easily
within the reach of any one able TO invest
so small a sum as 10 cents week.
1.-THE fourth volume Of this excellent
cyclopedia is the richest, so far. 1t goes
from Gable to Clarke. For some rea-
son, known only to Gallon and other curious
writer's, the letter c is apparently favorable
to genius. Here we find such poets as
Cedmon, Calderon, Callimachus, Camoens,
Campbell, and Chatterton; we listen to
such preachers as Chalmers. Chrysostom,
and Chaplin; Carlyle and Clarendon dispute
for the honors of history: Calvin wears the
laurels of the Incompatible theologian; al
though Cheever, ChllIingworth, Charming,
and Freeman Clarke are his near neighbors,
and Cicero bears off the palm for oratory,
while Caxton sets up his printing-press in
Westminster, and, a few pages after. Ger
vantes launches the immortal Don Quix-
ote' This is a delightful volume, with
something in it to suit every taste. -

work is fully maintained in the volume

of this edition has placed it within the
reach of many who are overjoyed to cal
such a work their own. ''-O regoniaaa, Port

Peters Wife-And Some Other Wives
'.My dear, said Mrs. Peters to her hus
band the other day, ''What does all this
stuff in the papers about home rule mean?

a sage, that the Irish want to govern lie
land themselves.

A Plot Exposed.

Several weeks ago. Gen. Malone, Hon.
John s. Wise, and Hon. Geo. E. Bowden
addressed the Republicans of James City
county, by invitation. There is a split in
tie Republican party of that county, and
it was in the interest of the regular ticket
that the speeches were made. The Nor
folk Lane mark noticed an incident of the
meeting as follows
During the meeting Mr. SouthaIl, chairman
of the Republican committee ofthe town han
ded Capt. Wise a letter intended for Gen. Ma
Mahcne, which Wise tore up. His action showed
his shrewdness, for it was loaded with political
dynamite. Here is the letter which Gen. Ma
hone can truthfully say he never saw but
which he will doubtless hear of before the end
Of the campaign, as the Democrats will not al
low him to escape from it.
GEN, MALONE:
ST.-Ex- Minister John M. Langton, in his
speech here some time time ago, said that you
had, in the city of Philadelphia, met commit
tee of extreme Republicans, and before them
defined your designs as to Virginia polictics
so far as they affected the negro, and that
you then said that you then pledged your
self to the removal of the two remaining legal
determinations against perfect equality. Is
this statement true? Respectfully,
ROBERT T. AMISTEAD.

from this transiency of instincts that most
of them are implanted for the sake of Civ.
ing rise to habits, and thus this purpose
once accomplished, the instincts them
selves have no rais0m d'etre in the physic-
al economy, and consequently fade away.
That occasionally an instinct should fade
before circumstances permit of habits be-
ing formed, or that, if the habit be formed,
other factors than the pure instincts should
modify its course, need not surprise us.
Life is full of the imperfect adjustment to
individual cases, of arrangements which
taking the species as whole. are quite
orderly and regular. Instinct cannot be
expected to escape this general rule.

BLOOD AND MONEY.

The blood OF man has much to do in shaping
his actions during his pilgrimage through this
troublesomesworld,f regardless of the amount of
present or expectant money in pocket Or stored
away in bank. tits g conceded fact that we
appear as our blood makes us, and the purer the
blood, the happier, healthier, prettier and wiser
we are; hence the oft repeated interrogatory',
"how is your blood?" With pure streams of
life-giving fluid coursing through your veins,
bounding through our hearts and ploughing
through our physical frames, our morals become
better, our constitution stronger, our intellect
ual faculties more acute and grauder, and men,
women and women happier, healthier and
more lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the unparalleled
curative powers, and the unmistakable proof

Col. D. A. WINDSOR, Alexandra, Va.

The wording of the note handed MT.
Wise is peculiar and the terms used were
designed to be susceptible of any construc-
lions that political malice could invent.
1t is due to Gen, Malone and to the Re-
publcans of the State that the exposure of
the mean, mendacious trick should have
as wide circulation as possible, so that
the people may understand what they may
expect during the fall campaign.

Dear Col. Windsor win you kindly secure
the publication of this letter in the National
Republican.
The foregoing clip from the report of the
Williamsburg nlaeting. which has lately fallen
under my eyes,
True, never saw this note of Mr.. Armistead s
or should have answered it,as shall now and
give Mr.. Amistead, whom l do not know,
whatever of notoriety he may have thought to
gain. What could have been his object beyond

parties of the state were opposed (about that
time) was the Republican proposition to free
the ballot and abolish the whipping post.
But no matter which may have been 1.-The
two remaining legal Determinations against
perfect equality" which Mr.. Armistead had in
his mind have this TO. say:
l.Tt at neither the time nor the member of
any commi tee that have ever met, as stated
in Mr.. Armistead's note, can be named, and
that never met any committee Of any Kind or
class of persons in Philadelphia or elsewhere,
and nowhere ever discussed illegal discrimina-
self to any proposition which may be drawn
from the un1ntellgible inquiry.
2. That Prof. Langston, whom have never
met but once, and then in Col. Geo C. Gorham
editorial office, and in his presence, never spoke
in Williamsburg but once. and that was III the
campaign of 1892, and If any one could believe
that he ever uttered any such statement as Mr..
Armistead, now five years afterward. puts into
his mouth the wonder would be why it has not
been brought to the front In all these years OF
passion, prejudice, and malignant misrepresen-
tation, which have characterized Democratic
campaigns, and will seem strange to inteIli-
gent, air. minded people that the statement
now made and imputed to Prof. Langston
should not. in some form, have been uttered
when he spoke at Lynchburg. or at FarmvllIe,
or at suffolk, or at Norfolk, or at Portsmouth,
or at Newport News, where he had just spoken.
or at Richmond, or at Petersburg, where he
